Overall Satisfaction with Meltwater
Meltwater has definitely grown as a service provider, providing more features than it has in the past. I have been able to link certain notifications directly to a teams channel to push out alerts faster without having to use manual time to disseminate information. From Meltwaters explore function, I was able to quickly pick up on activity from a competitor that showed they were attempting to increase their online reputation score. Meltwater also notified me of an increase in media mentions (which I had noticed before, and decided to test if Meltwater would also pick up on it), and it was a good indication that the competitor is trying to increase interest with potential investors. The service REPs were helpful, but the newsletter function is still giving me some issues. If I can get this sorted out, then my ranking would be higher of the overall tool.
Pros
- Picking up on media mentions
- Capturing competitor commercials
- Spike detection
Cons
- Newsletter feature
- Exporting information from the explore screen in a readable format rather than raw data in excel
- Faster access to data
- Klue and Crayon Intel Pro
Meltwater does not limit competitive searches in the same way that Crayon and Klue do. Meltwater also captures different sources of information than aggregation tools. While Meltwater doesn’t provide access to expert reports like a different platform that I rely on for deep dives, Meltwater is particularly effective in picking up online chatter and activity from competitors that other tools lack. I was able to identify a competitor manipulating their [...] reviews solely due to Meltwater. Also, the ability to have an enterprise license with 20+ seats is nice
